Amazing plastic surgeries through the “Keyhole”

• Wednesday September 27, 2006 | Posted in: Plastic Surgery Procedures

  In eyebrow lift or forehead lift, surgeons, applying the keyhole surgery, work under the skin through small incisions in the hairline and proceed to tighten the deep facial muscles and forehead tissues altering frown and drooping lines.  The old procedure would place incision from ear to ear across the top of the patient’s head.  

  Plastic surgeries performed through the "keyhole" – all taking place under the skin, are technically called endoscopic operations, or otherwise known as keyhole surgery.  In cosmetic enhancements, very small "keyhole" incisions are where surgical instruments, such as an endoscope, are inserted to assist in meticulous procedures.  

  The forehead, mid-face, cheeks, chin, neck, breasts, tummy and other body sections can be surgically enhanced – or repaired – by keyhole surgery.  

  Imagine tiny, handy endoscopes having camera, lights and tools, all on one tube.  The attending surgeon then watches a monitor screen to guide his work.  All this fussy preparation -- why not? The revolutionary technology actually achieves barely noticeable scars, less bruising, pain, and bleeding – one of those innovative operations that heal quicker.  

  For one, thin women who go for breast augmentation are especially happy when their implant, under keyhole surgery procedure, is placed under the chest muscle.  Some keyhole-advocate surgeons place breast implants through hardly visible incisions in the armpits.
  An endoscopic facelift -- also known as a mid-facelift, hides its small incisions in the eyelid and gums.  To tighten loose neck muscles, entry points are hidden behind the ears and under the chin.

  Endoscopic tummy tuck is especially popular among men who are mortified with their 'beer bellies'.  The keyhole mini-tummy tuck combined with minimal weight loss usually results in a flat, trim waistline.
